I don't get why there are negative reactions against AMosaic. I actually liked AMosaic, even though it is a bit slow on an 68000 especially when rendering many or big pictures with many colors (but this is mainly the speed of the Datatypes it is using, so IBrowse probably wont help much there).


IBrowse is better because it can decode images progressively. It is not faster but overall experience is better.

I still have the original IBrowse 1.02 package here. If someone is interested I can give it away for free.

IBrowse 2.x needs a 68020 or higher, and Robert's A2000 only has a 68000. IBrowse 1.2 was the last version of IBrowse that will run on his setup. AMosaic and Aweb will also work. None of them are particularly stable, and Aweb probably renders pages best of the three choices.


Actually IBrowse 1.22 is very stable and not so much different from IBrowse 2.x series. It lacks Javascript and tabbing and crashes in low mem situations but generally it never crash. Too bad there are no websites IBrowse could display properly at this age...
